The lyrics that I can make out:

Bisou, bisou, I love you
Bisou, bisou, c'est vrai toujours
(something something)
Kiss, kiss
(something something repeated?)
(mumble, mumble, mumble)
Lalala.

It's really hard to hear with the voice over.

Congrats on your first gig, Damie.

For those of us outside the UK, I'm afraid those podcasts are not available, like nearly all online Beeb content. They look interesting, though, and if I were in a more larcenous mood, I might try a proxy.

Lester Young is a-comin': http://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/mosaic-records-release-mother-lester-young-box-sets/ "Mosaic Records, that Valhalla of jazz reissue labels, is preparing an 8-CD set of Lester Young recordings that will cover the saxophonist’s career from his debut on record w...

It doesn't get more tech-talky than this: tortilla + laser cutter = the format we will soon be using for all our music

Next time Peter Loggins pulls out his 78s, I bust out these babies.

I've been looking for this CD for years, but it went OOP very quickly and was stupidly expensive on Amazon (used copies are $500 right now!). It's a free download on the band's bandcamp.com page now, even the lossless versions (FLAC *and* ALAC)! https://davinaandthevagabonds.bandcamp.com/album/live-...

1. What....you don't own the album The Legendary Buster Smith ??!?!? That is the only one on your "don't own" list that I insist you immediately go out and purchase. Every single song on the album has such a fat soulful swinging groove, played by some fabulous musicians. One of my favorit...

Ugh. Stupid Spotify. Sorry.

I guess you'll have to make your own copy of the playlist. I just went down the original list and searched for the tracks.

I play some of these regularly but others I can't remember even hearing before. I might look into some and bring them back this weekend 8) I'm not sure this will work (Spotify sharing is some sort of dark art), but I made a playlist with the 20 tracks I could find on Spotify: https://play.spotify.c...

Perhaps because *his* spammy webstore doesn't sell them?

There was a thread 11 years ago on Lindy Exchange Classics: http://www.swingdjs.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=885 It, predictably, quickly devolved into a my-CD-collection-is-so-much-bigger-than-your-CD-collection fest. Of course that wouldn't happen in this day and age. We brag about our FLAC or ALAC...

I think you'll find that most people are wary of trying to give any form of legal advice online. Your best bet is to talk to a local dance organizer or studio owner. (FWIW, I know one of our local lindy dances is covered under the umbrella of the venue they use, which is a nationally recognized danc...

Your original post could say "there'll be an archived version online in the next 10 hours" (with a link to the top of the blog, rather than the title of the latest show). Then there's no need for two posts (let alone two threads). Do you know how many people you're getting from swingdjs.co...

Greg, what's the purpose of having two threads on this? I've not actually checked by listening, but it seems like one thread simply gets updated one day after the other with the same show, every time. Can you perhaps not bother with two messages, and just post once? It'll save you time, too! (Actual...

I regularly play "She's Dynamite " , "Let's do the boogie" Love those 2 tracks, hope they get re-released, or with the new apple streaming service, at least some sort of BB King marathon mix session. Both those tracks are available on Amazon as digital downloads right now. I sus...

This was at a venue called "For Dancers Only", so the Lunceford theme was awfully appropriate, even without the his-birthday-is-tomorrow excuse. I threw in the one Monty Alexander track I sometimes play, since he shares a birthday with Lunceford. I resisted the urge to play any Kenny G (wh...
